Who Do You Believe In (Explicit) - 2Pac (图派克)/Kadafi

Let us pray

Heavenly Father

Hear a ni**a down here

Before I go to sleep

Tell me who do you believe in

Who do you believe in I see mothers in black cryin' brothers in packs dyin'

Plus everybody's high too doped up to ask why

Watchin' our own downfall witness the end

It's like we don't believe in God 'cause we livin' in sin

I asked my homie on the block why he strapped he laughed

Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast

It's just another murder nobody mourns no more

My tear drops gettin' bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin' for Is it the miniature caskets little babies

Victims of a stray from ** dealers gone crazy

Maybe it's just the *** visions of how the block was

Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us

Perhaps the underlyin' fact stay high explain genocide

It's when we ride on our own kind

What is it we all fear Reflections in the mirror

We can't escape fate the end is gettin' nearer Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in Can't close my eyes 'cause all I see is terror

I hate the man in the mirror

'Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer

Times of Armageddeon murder in mass amounts

In this society where only gettin' the cash counts

I started out as a beginner

Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner

I make my money and vacate evade prison

Went from the chosen one to outcast unforgiven And all the Hennessy and w**d can't hide the pain I feel inside

You know it's like I'm livin' just to die

I fall on my knees and beg for mercy not knowin' if I'm worthy

Livin' life thinkin' no man can hurt me

So I'm askin' before I lay me down to sleep

Before you judge me look at all the sh*t you did to me my misery

I rose up from the slums made it out the flames

In my search for fame will I change I'm askin' Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin' the grievin' who do you believe in Faith in Allah believe in me and this plastic

'Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets

With they chest plates stretched like elastic

And what's worse I'm on front line holdin' down camp still mashin'

Heard my cousin one of the old heads from the block

Just came home october of '95 back in Yardsville stuck With a three to five if he don't act up now he realize

If you don't stay wise then in this game you f**ked

Talk to my baby girl give me the word on what she heard

One of the grimmies is snitchin' diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him

He said he didn't my man said he did in fact he's sure

'Cause he just came home off of bail Now tell me

Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in Who do you believe in

Is it Buddah Jehovah or Jah or Allah

Is it Jesus is it God or is just yourself

Definitely not to be imposed being a demon

Because this is the joy of believing

Men to believe in yourselves

But for sure the higher power

Resides only to ride in the heart of the true From the soul of the man for truth never has an alibi

In the poetry or in it's realm

That's what pulls all words together

Just to understand that every man is his own man

And only man can satisfy the man

Only the soul of the man the feelings of the man

The for realness of the man

You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man

And you gotta call yourself because you are that man Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

Do you believe in Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

Who do you believe in

Who do you believe in

I ask

I ask the grievin

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in Who do you believe in

I put my faith in God blessed and still breathin'

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin'

I'm askin'' the grievin' who do you believe in
